Th time ia drawing near, indeed
hat already arrived, when the political
bee baa begun to butt. It ia, however,
amusing to note the list of candidates
produced for congressmen from (J re
gon's two district from day to day, in
the Oregouian. Great papers have
great imaginations and the Oregonian
ia no exception to the rule. But to
those who know some of the parties
named by that paper for oongresa from
time to time it ia really laughable if
not rediculoua to aoe their nainea pu
forward amid so much gush, and when
the whole matter la boiled down but
one thing remains, and that ia that
Oregon's great daily ia bard pressed
for news.
k ITKW8PAPXR haa, we believe, a per
feet right to criticise the public acta of
an official, when in the judgment of
the editor the said official baa erred
willfully or in judgment. But such
criticisms should be made to the point,
and not by lot of interrogations
which are not direct and not explained
A public official exercises good judg
ment in paying no attention to insin
uations, though they may be annoy
ing, for it may be aaid a newspaper loo
cowardly to back np ita implications
by giving all the facta ia not worthy
of notice and carries with it no weight
of evidence. While it may be the
privilege of a newspaper to criticise
the official aota of public servants
kae neither the moral or legal right to
misrepresent or mislead the public by
insinuations, a thing which honest
journalism haa decried in all ages.
The right to criticise- resta upon the
facta presented to substantiate the
assertion.
TBI rate war now going on between
the , Oregon Bailway . A Navigation
Company and the Southern Pacific
Campany, between Portland and San
Francisco, in which the rate by
steamer ia $5 first class and 12 60
second class, and by rail $10 and ?5
first and second class respectively,
tends to some extent to work a hard
ship on the business interests of the
Northwest. The great crowds of peo
ple aroint to San Francisco "just for
a trip" by reason of this reduced rate,
takes thousands of dollars out of the
state for which nothing cornea back
in return. It cannot be denied that
people have the right to travel and
that the transportation lines have
right to make a cheap rate, but in do
ing so the corporations cripple them
selves and the people let go their sur
plus without getting anything in re
turn. Only tboea who have business
to attend to. in Ran Francisco, who
are few; profit by the rate war.
KoTwrrHBTAKDino the general com
plaint of the scarcity of money during
the past year the percentage of taxes
on the delinquent roll for 1894, as re
turned by Sheriff Doan, ia much less
than ft ever has been in the history of
the county. Out of over X38.UUU id
taxes due the county on the roll of
1894 only about 11400 remain unpaid.
The property against which this
mount atarfJs was bid in by the
county at the recent sheriffs sale,
most or all of which will be redeemed
within the two-year limit provided by
law for thai purpose. The sheriff haa
proceeded cautiously in the levy and
collection of taxes, so that all possi
bilities of doubt as to the legality of
the mode of procedure Is set at rest. I
There is a law which provides when
and how taxes may be collected, and
when properly enforced, aa has been
the esse this year, county revenues
will be collected up closely, wbicb
means a diminishing of the county's
indebtedness. Enforcement of the
law is the only safe method of doing
business for the public The same
mode of procedure as applied by the
sheriff this year would enable the
county to receive several thousand
dollars of taxes wbicb have been go
ing delinqnent for several years, and
should, by all means, be collected and
placed to the credit of the county.
Nxxt Thursday has been set apart
by the president of the United States
and by the governor of tnia state as a
day of general thanksgiving and pleas
ure. It is first in order for us to realize
that we baye something to be thank
ful for and then proceed to be thank
ful. Notwithstanding the atagnation
and depression in many lines of bus
iness in this country and apparent
gloom in many social lines, yet as a
nation we have many things for which
to be indeed thankful, especially so
when compared with the condition of
the masses in other lands. It may be
said that times are hard and that some
degree of actual auffenng exists in cer
tain portions oi our country, but while
this is true it is also true we should
not lose sight of the fact that our lib
eral form of government affords op
portunities which are not found in
any other part of the world, and the
suffering and want of the compara
tively few, while deeply deplored, is as
nothitig compared with the Old World.
Next Thursday, as has been the cus
tom for many years, has been set apart
aa a legal holiday that the people n.ay
meet in their various places of wor
ship and in the homes and give thanks
to Almighty Oed for the many bless
ings tbey enjoy by reason of the great
plan of the Supreme Ruler of the Uni
verse. On that day let all our people
lay aside, for a time, the cares of life
and mingle together in the acknowl
edgment of the many blessings be
stowed upon the Amerioan people. 1
FARMJfOTES.
The farm poultry, which, during
the summer and thus fur in the season
hare had little oare, because with their
free range they have been able to
scratch for themselves, must now have
some attention if they are to pay for
their keeping during the winter.
.
Eggs and good plump fowl for the
table generally bring a higher price
in the market in the winter than at
any other time of the year. The wise
fanner takee advantage of this better
market by being prepared for it.
Aside from poultry, there are four
claseea of domestic animals which en'
ter largely into the commerce of the
orld. These, as you all know, are
cattle, horses, sheep and swine. The
question may arise why of all the ani
mals of the kingdom these four should
have survived among all others. I do
not ak why these four were selected
but why they have eurvivud be
cause, as a matter of fact, many others
were selected in time past for domes
ticalion but the attempt for the most
part haa been abandoned because the
four named are the mont suited, gen
erally apeakmg. Perhaps the reason
why these four hive survived among
all others may be illustrated by refer
ence to the elephant. Professor Shuler
in an admirable article in the July
Scribncr for 1S94. points out, that
the elephant ia the most easily tamed
of all our wild animals and possesses
marvelous intelligence. It is stated
for example, that wild elephants have
been captured and tamed and taught
to lay. up railroad Ilea in piles, first
laying a row one way and then the
other.
a ,
There is an old saying to the effect
that necessity is the mother of lnven
lion. But it is not true; in reality
says JTarnt News, invention is the
mother of necessity. Today a harvest
ing machine ia an absolute necessity
to every wheat grower; fifty years ago
a cradle and a sickle enabled mm to
meet the demands of the market.
Fifty years ago the tallow candle made
light enough for the ordinary house
today a much better light is a neces
sity. And it is the same way with all
labor-saving machines. Some one baa
said that they are not labor saving but
labor-making machines. There is
great deal of twaddle going the rounds
about a "horseless age" upon which
we are supposed to be entering because
of the advent of the bicycle and the
application of electricity to locomotion
The aame alarm was raised upon the
appearance of the alcam engine, but
what has been the reaultT steam
transportation haa created a demand
for horses such aa the world could
never have known under other circum
stances. And it will be the same way
with the more recent inventions for
transportation. Man's noble friend
the horse will not be pushed into ob
scurity for several generations yet, and
the bicycle and electrical carnages
will only bring to him a better appre
elation. Farmers will soon unci
market for good horses, at better price
than have prevailed for the past Iiw
years.
Looked at as a machine, an animal
ia a combined boiler and engine. The
fuel is represented by the food which
it eata. the bones represent the levers.
pulleys and iron work of the engine,
and the muscles may be likened to the
steam of the engine, as tbey transmit
the power. Man may increase his
own productive power, therefore, by
the use of other animals or by the use
mechanical appliances, such
steam engines. The great advance
ments in civilization in recent lime
has been largely due to the increased
nse of stored up carbon through coal
mines and gas and oil wells. Ke mem
ber that coal oil and gas are products
of plant growth. The reason that
man who makes two blades ot gn
arrow where one grew before is a bene
factor to his race is due to the fact
that twice aa much energy is being
stored up for the use of mankind
through the fixation of carbon. At
present, as before indicated, we are
lining in a arlAnl tnft frAm fVlft.
silized carbon in the shape of coal, oil
and gas, but when these sources of
carbon are exhausted mankind will be
dependent entirely upon the efforts of
the farmer, and the number of the
people that it will be possible for the
globe to maintain - will depend upon
the tiller of tb soil.
Pecwliar Mental Condition.
Salem, says the Statesman, bas a very
peculiar ease of mental derangement For
abont two months one o its citizens, an
old and highly resoected German, has suf
fered from affection of the brain wbicb
causes him a total loss of memory in cer
tain respects, while bis faculties in all
other ways seem entirely unimpaired. A
curious feature of tha ailment is that b it
fully conscious of it and it worries him
greatly. He wss considerable of a reader,
but now be takes np a book or paper and
does not know one letter from another. If
asked to write his name he will do so but
hi twe minutes if the slgniture is shown
him he cannot tell what it is. Hs can trans
act business for the time being with knowl
edge and accuracy, bnt in a short time its
details are all tumbled np in his a ind. He
eata, sleeps and enjoys his pipe as well as
ever and takes his exercise regularly, and
cannot naderstand the natnre of bis afflic
tion. It is an iteresting case for patholo
gists. Some of Salem's physicians and one
in Portland have been studying it, but have
come to no conclusion about it
Battle With a Bteer.
D. Pitts, of Kirby. had a battle with a
steer the other day. Mr. Pitts entered the
corral where the steer was and attempted
to lasso the animal. The steer trade a rush
for him and struck him with one horn,
tearing through bis clothing, and slightly
cutting through the skin for about thirteen
Inches across the abdomen. Mr. Pitts
grabbed the steer by one of its horns which
act saved his life. The steer, being thor
ongbly aroused, began to thrash over the
yard, while he held on to the boms for bis
life. It seemed a hopeless case for him, for
to let loose meant instant death. Mrs.
Pitts, however, came to the rescue, and,
with a club, tried to beat the steer so that
be would cease, but not until the gate was
opened by Hector Egger, and the rest of the
cattle run out, did be quit, and Mr. Pitts,
letting go, he ran oat with the other cattle.
It was a desperate fight for life, and bad it
not been for plucky Mrs. Pitts, her hus
band would undoubtedly have been killed.
INSURANCE COMPANY FAILS
Caused by the Suspension 01
a Banking Company.
Two of Salem's Leading tnatttwtlona
In (ho Hands of Keoetvers and
Another Dealrojed by Fire.
Salem has been called upon, vays the
Statesman, to witness the cUteing of one of
Its financial institutions and the i onstqusnt
susnsioii of on of its business enterprises
through the lack of ready money incident
to the stringency of finances ami the difH
cully ot making collection's but yet there
ia nothing in the news which goes out to
day to arou alarm in relation to the
strength, solidity and proMwrity of Salem
business institutions individually and col'
leclively.
The Williams A England Hanking com
pany failed to 0eu its doors on Thursday
morning ot lst week and the following
notice was posted on the door, sigued by
H. P. McNary, the cashier i
Having reason to aspect unusual de
mands from depositors and in order to treat
all creditors fairly and equitably this bank
ia closed tor the present. It is my opinion
that all depositors will be paid in full."
To the general public this was a great
surprise but to many it was expected, as it
was well known Wednesday evening that
there was some financial nervousness about
the institution. KUuiors that the bank
bad failed were flying thick and fast, but
nothing definite could be learned for the
time being.
From those connected with the bank it is
learned that the liabilities amount to about
1130,000 and the assets will foot up in the
neighborhood of $275,000.
The bank was incorporated in December,
18S9, the articles of Incorporation being
made by George WiiUaius, William Eng
land and J. A. Baker. Tha capital stock
was placed at 1200,000 divided into shares
of $100 each. Besides the above named
gentlemen tome other stockholders are P.
C. Baker, Richard and Emmett Williams
of Portland, Dr. J. A. Richardson, Hugh
P. McNary and Finley Perriue, Mr. Mo-
Nary having been cashier since the organi
sation of the institution. Major Williams,
president of the banking company, its
heaviest stockholder and also its heaviest
debtor upon personal account, has turned
over every particle of bis property, iuclud
ing the home in which bis iamily live, to
the bank and he has nothing left bnt his
library sad such of his property as may re
main after settlement.
The State Insurance Company,
As a sequel to the closing of the bank the
following notice was posted on the door of
the State lnsurauce, signed by Edniond 0,
Qiltner, secretary and manager:
"Owing to the closing of the Williams &
England Banking company's bank in which
the funds are kept, and to lack of available
funds to meet claims now becoming due,
and in order to protect the interests of
policyholders and stockholders, the State
Insurance company will suspend business
and ask the appointment of a receiver.
The State Insurance company haa been
one of the prominent factors in Salem busi
ness for some years and was supposed to
be entirely solid and free from danger. Its
suspension is a serious loss, not only here,
says the Statesman, where the borne office
employed a large force of clerks, bat all
over this state, Washington and Idaho. It
is estimated that from ZOO to 260 persons
are thus thrown out of employment, not
all under salary from the company, bnt all
finding employment in its work, conse
quently the loss will be widespread.
Notwithstanding the fact that business
depression bas made tbe suspension neces
sary, it is but Just to tbe present manage
ment to state that tbe company is 130,000
less in debt than when the reorganization
took place a year ago and Mr. Giltner be
came manager.
The assets ot the company are $375,000,
ith liabilities, as regards policy holders, of
$175,000. The assets consist ot $52,000
loaned out in the state of Washington on
secure ties approved by the treasurer of
state, consequently tbey are good; city and
tarm real estate, mortgage loans, collateral
loans snd premium notes. The real estate
is said to be of the very best character, In
cluding their splendid corner and three-
story brick block in Salem, and in ordinary
times of prosperity would be very valuable.
Tbeir paper is choice, but tbe ability to
realise at present upon any secure ties is
not great.
Tbe necessity for ready funds and a con
stant receipt of large amounts and a good
bank account will be better realized when
the expenditures are known. For tbe
month ot October tbe total expenses, in
cluding losses, footed up $18,716. and the
running expenses alone were 1 10,71 L Tbe
capital stock is $100,000 and it is all paid op.
There is much sympathy for Mr. Giltner,
who went into the company with all bis
savings and gavs it his young energy and
posh, only to And himself now confronted
by a condition that may leave bim without
means. He bas been appointed receiver
for tbe company, however, and will nse
every effort in his post er to see that credit
ors are protected to tbe cent, and those who
know bim best have implicit confidence
that he will do it.
Salem Woolen Mills Horned.
Sale. Noy. 18. Oregon today sustained
the loss of an important manufacturing
tablishment In the burning of the Thomas
Kay woolen mills. The fire was discovered
in the dry bouse by tbe nightwstcb at 6:15
A. M., and subsequent events proved fate
wss against saving tbe concern. The main
building and contents were destroyed. Tbe
building and contents were a system of
waterworks, which was operated by tbe
same wheel that propels tbe machinery.
Water bad been turned on tbe wheel for
tbe day's run, and, when tbe fire was dis
covered, the flames shut off access to the
wheel, thus preventing tbe coupling of
power to the water system. Salem has ne
re alarm system.
There was sufficient steam np for the
nightwstcb to give the distress signal by
means of the whistle. Tbe whistle ia blown
every morning at 6:30 o'clock, and, as it
was near that hour, the extra blowing at
tracted tbe attention of but few people.
Tbe city fiie department headquarters were
11 blocks away, and much time was lost
by the nlghtwatch in going to tbe mills'
office to reach the fire department by tele
phone, and it was about 80 minutes from
the disco vory of the Are before tbe engine
was on tbe ground.
The bose was nsed to good effect until
fuel gave out, then, steam being exhausted,.
the flames continued their destructive work
while the Are department was hunting
coal. Hose was attached to a hydrant of
the city works, but the force was insuffi
cient for effective work. The floors ware
saturated with oil from the wool, and the
flames mocked the efforts to subdue them,
The loss is fully $M,000. and a detailed
animate may prove It to be much more.
